The Čakovec–Mursko Središće railway, officially designated L101 railway, is a 17.942-kilometre (11.149 mi) railway line in Croatia connecting the cities of Čakovec and Mursko Središće.[maps 1] The railway line links to the Slovene railway line to Lendava to the north of Mursko Središće.[1] In Čakovec, the railway also connects to the M501 to Budapest and Ljubljana and to the R201 to Varaždin and the rest of the Croatian railway network.[2]

Route is non-electrified and single-tracked.[3][4] The maximum permitted speed throughout the entire L101 railway is 60 kilometres per hour (37 miles per hour).[5] The route was built in 1889 as Zalaegerszeg-Čakovec railway, but in 1945, after World War II, the route was dismantled between Lendava and Rédics. Slovenian Railways plans to rebuild the section between Lendava and Rédics.[6]
